Measuring Your Site
Depending on the size of your space, whether or not it’s easily visible online, and what’s already existing, this module could either be quick and easy or it may take you a little bit of time. Either way, I’ll show you how to measure your space with online tools and by hand. Your design will be based off of your measurements in Module 1.
Creating Your Base Map
In this module, we turn all your measurements into a base map. You’ll add your property lines, house and any existing trees, shrubs, and structures. The final step is to make a few copies of your base map.
Observing Your Site
Module 3 is geared toward observations, gathering site data, getting to know your site, and figuring out what you want in your space. You’ll do some worksheets and a couple fun activities to get yourself ready to start drawing. This super important step examines the bigger picture and helps you get clear on your garden goals and dreams.
Permaculture Design Basics
Module 4 dips a toe into permaculture design. We’ll explore how you can organize your space so it’s super functional (using several permaculture techniques) and talk about topics like water, soil contouring, food forests, and more. In this module, I recommend completing the first four videos. If you’d like to dive deeper, there are several additional videos to choose from.
Bubble Diagrams
Put some of your ideas onto paper (finally)! We begin with a few design lessons and one fun activity. You’ll then define your open spaces using the “bubble diagram” technique and end by turning those bubbles into bed lines and defining your main pathways.
Concept Design
Module 6 takes your design one step further by adding existing trees plus placeholders for new trees, shrubs, vines, and secondary paths. I’ll also share some professional design secrets with you!!!
Choosing Plants
Now that you have tree, shrub, and vine placeholders in your design, you’re ready to choose plants. I’ll give you a tour of my personal master plant list, then you’ll be ready to choose plants and create your own plant list. We’ll also talk about adding perennials and vegetables to your design, so you can create a master plan.
Drawing Like a Designer
Module 8 will show you how to transform your pencil drawing into a professionally designed masterpiece. Once you’re finished with this module, you’ll have a gorgeous design that doubles as a piece of art. Print it, frame, it and hang it on your wall!
